ABSTRACT:
A novel head slider assembly for a hard disk drive includes a transducer and an air bearing slider supporting the transducer; a head suspension mechanism for supporting the air beating slider with the transducer closely adjacent to the recording surface of a recording medium in an orientation having a predetermined pitch angle and a predetermined spacing with respect the recording surface of the recording medium, and for moving the air bearing slider relative to the recording surface of the recording medium; and the air bearing slider having leading and trailing edges, an upper surface and a lower surface extending from the leading edge to the trailing end of the air bearing slider, a first tapered portion at the leading edge in the lower surface and a second tapered potion at the leading edge in the upper surface for enabling the air beating slider to stably maintain in a low flying height with respect to the recording surface of the recording medium.
